Streaming TV on holiday?

Quick question. We subscribe to streaming services here in the UK and watch on the iPad. We're heading to the US and onto Mexico - will we still be able to access our services? Anyone done this? Ta!

Probably not, at least not easily.

Rats. Not really a problem for us, but dread dealing with 4yo on major Paw Patrol withdrawal... Confused

If you download from Netflix, Amazon or iPlayer you'll still have access to them while you are away.

I can still stream from Netflix when I'm in Europe. I'm not sure if this would apply in North America though.

...or use you tube. There's lots on there for the wee ones.

Use a VPN, My private network is good. I use it to watch UK TV and have no problems.

Thanks folks - good advice. It's the plane journeys that I fear the most...

If you have amazon prime you can download episodes of paw patrol via the APP to watch when you are not connected to wifi.

Definitely second the VPN recommendation- I downloaded one as an app (ExpressVPN) so that kids could watch Netflix abroad. Also downloaded a selection from iplayer and Netflix for the plane journey.
